[Javascript] Please help with a window closing problme

Mon Aug 19 23:18:00 CDT 2002

	I suppose you could try the body's onUnload event handler, like this:

<body onUnload="window.opener.location.href='newpage.html';">

although people have reported varying degrees of success using that.

|Thanks for your reply.
|
|Basically,  I have a login page, a popup page and a menu page. When a user
|logins,  a small window will pop up with a announcement(popup
|page).  If the
|user clicks the "continue" button inside the popup window, the popup window
|will close and a new page--menu page--will open.
|
|Since the login page is a jsp. That is why it goes blank
|if user click the "cross" to close the window instead of the "continue"
|button.
|
|I am wondering how I could code that action, mouse clicking the cross to
|close window, with javascript so that if a mouse clicking on the cross is
|detected, the popup window should close and a new page should open.
|
|Thanks again for your reply.
